Am I correct in assuming they are using a Walabot sensor as mentioned in footnote 2? https://walabot.com/ EDIT: I see from section 3 that they created their own FMCW antenna array that is somehow similar to a Walabot.

If nothing else, this depiction of prime numbers looks very satisfying for recreational mathematics, much more so than the Ulam spiral. I think students who learn how to generate this pattern will be inspired to learn more about math.

Exactly. Every time I tutor someone in math, I tell them to use up at least a sheet of paper for every interesting question. When they do, their skills improve quickly. Saving paper is a false economy when it comes to math.

A couple of years ago, I took a half-day hike up a mountain called Timpanogos with my son. According to my fitness tracker, I burned over 8000 kcal on that trip. It was a bit strenuous, but not painful. The estimate of calories burned seeme

This is why I'm a big advocate (but not affiliate) of the "mikeroweWORKS" foundation. Mike Rowe, from the TV show "Dirty Jobs", is using his foundation to revive interest in trade schools and jobs. There are a lot o

It sounds like the best path forward might be to document the NodeJS serialization format in perfect detail and create a test suite to verify all known corner cases. Until that's done, alternative implementations will be unreliable.

What's mysterious for me is just how much less Costco charges for staples than Amazon does. For example, for Honey Bunches of Oats cereal, Costco charges $0.15 per ounce (if you buy it locally), while Amazon charges $0.52 per ounce. So

Thanks for the response. Personally, I would be more interested in connecting through a Raspberry Pi 3, which has Bluetooth on board, rather than a mobile device.

Does it work with non-Apple Bluetooth devices? The language on the "how it works" page seems surprisingly specific to Apple. Also, does it connect with Sengled hubs?

IoT devices are typically behind NAT firewalls and thus not first-class Internet devices, making it difficult for IoT devices to connect directly to each other (rather than through a third party). I'm aware of workarounds, but I haven&

This is the first time I've heard of Grasshopper. Are you referring to this? http://www.grasshopper3d.com/ How would you recommend a 3D printer operator could learn more about Grasshopper? Are the tutorials good?

I too recommend TNG. If you get to the end of the series and you still want more, there's also Voyager, which is essentially the same as TNG and slightly more modern.

OTOH, smart people often build systems with excessive complexity, leading to maintenance problems. Genius is found in making complex things comprehensible and simple.
